About 12 o'clock, the weather fojgy, and the ship running at half speed, and about taking soundings, the 6hip struck on the Beach of Truro, some five miles from Highland height, Cape Cod ; the en giuea were reversed, the anchors thrown out, and every exertion made to get her off, but without effect ; it was about half tide when she struck, and the weather calm, though there was a considerable swell of the sea. At the last accounts she was heading south, and vcrj little appre hension was felt for her safety. At Truro two passengers went ashore and took an express conveyance to Boston.

Ac Mr. Bextox rose, and thus addressed the Senate. Mr. President The bill before the Senate proposes to extend the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the Unit ed States over all our territories west of the Rocky mountain, without saying what is the extent and what are the limits of this territory.

This indefinite extension of authority, in a case which requires the utmost precision, forces me to speak, and to give my opinion of the true extent of our territo ries beyond the Rocky mountains. I have delayed doing this...
